When Enabled, maximum system
performance can be achieved. The
processor performance is enhanced.

Note:

The Suspend Mode selection in BIOS only applies to older Windows version

(such as Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 or NT4) or non-Windows operating system. In

Windows ME / 98SE / 2000 / XP, suspend mode and settings are determined by

settings in the Power Options Properties (Start > Control Panel > Power Options).

Note:

High performance mode is enabled in the BIOS Setup and when using AC

power. When enabled, system will increase processor bus frequency by 10% to boost

system performance; however, it may violate CPU specification and cause system to

be unstable, so use at your own risk.
